Mountain Biker Selflessly Helps Kid Who Crashed On Adjacent Track

A mountain-biking teenager received an outpouring of love online after his head cam captured the moment he helped a four-year-old who had crashed and had no-one around to help him. In the clip, 17-year-old Eli Shoe can initially be seen heading around the expert line at the Railyard Bike Park in Rogers, Arkansas, on July 2. But as Eli made his way around the course, something caught his attention on the trail next to him. There, Eli said he first heard, and then discovered, a crying youngster – a boy by the name of Saylor Groff, 4. Saylor had come off his bike and was in a blindspot where his parents could not see him, Eli said. Eli immediately headed over to the boy, asking him, "Are you okay, buddy?" and then offering a reassuring word: "Everybody crashes sometimes, okay." The teen helped Saylor to his feet, offering him a fist bump and praising him for how tough he had been. Eli then presented the four year old with a sticker – a reward, he said, for being so brave.
